Three injured in serious accident on Franklin Street

At least three people were injured in a serious accident on Franklin Street around 10:30 Monday tonight.

Firefighters worked feverishly to rip away parts of a Toyota Camry that had slammed backward into a parked tow truck in front of Etre's Auto Body at 432 Franklin St.

At one point, someone in the crowd of police, firefighters and paramedics started yelling and signaling the number four, and personnel jumped up into the snowy hill behind the accident, frantically waving flashlights and looking behind trees and under vehicles.

Crews hoisted a young boy onto a waiting stretcher, as another person was rushed into an ambulance. Another person was whisked away to a third ambulance on a stretcher.

It was not immediately clear whether other vehicles were involved in the crash. The Traffic Division was being dispatched to the scene to investigation.

The accident was on upper Franklin Street, parallel to the new CSX freight yard expansion. Franklin Street was closed at Norfolk Street.
